Damn Good Dogs!: The Real Story of Uga, the University of Georgia's Bulldog Mascots

by Sonny Seiler, Kent Hannon

Readers are offered a rare glimpse into the personal 50-year history of the nationally acclaimed mascot for the Georgia Bulldogs, Uga, English bulldogs so revered they are buried in a mausoleum at Sanford Stadium when they die. Full of anecdotes – such as Uga V’s famous plunge at an Auburn player in 1996, his appearance in several major Hollywood films, and Sports Illustrated’s decision to put him on the cover of their 1997 college sports issue – this new softcover edition of the book is lavishly illustrated with color photos and memorabilia, and features other stories involving longtime Georgia head coach Vince Dooley and Heisman Trophy winner Herschel Walker.

I learned a whole helluva lot about the real Georgia Bulldogs...and they aint all pure white (a couple were shoe polished in spots!).
I found a copy in Savannah signed by Sonny Seiler, so I bought it. I'm a Terp, not a Dawg, but there is quite a history there, and the Seiler Family has gone above and beyond the call of duty with these dogs.
